DANvILLE OFFICES.
Action Of the Beard Of Directors % flsif
Mssting Held In New YsSh.

A meeting Of the Board Of Directors
OF the Richmond and West Point Ter
minal Railway and Warehouse Com
pany was held in New York on Mon
day. Major Dooley, second vice-presi-
dent OF the Richmond and DanviIle.
yesterday received letter from Gene
raj T. NJ. Logan saying that the board
adopsed q resolution directing the execu-
tive officers to have the trcamrer's,
auditors, and legal departments re-
moved from Washington back to Rich
mond at once. This leaves the general
manager and staff in Washington.
TIE OFFICIALS.
General Manager Thomas assumes
the management of the East Tennessec
line, as well as continues that OF tho
Richmond and Danville. Mr. Sol.
Haas will be traffic manager OF both
properties.
Nothing was said in General Logan's
letter about the election Of general
manager Of the Danville road proper.
but il is presumed that Captain Will
liam II. Green, who has been the ell
cient general superintendent for many
years, will be promoted to the position,
with headquarters in Richmond. The
managers of the Danville and East
Tennessee lines will report to General
Manager Thomas, and while he is at
the head of the management OF both
he will have nothing to do directly
with the conduct Of the business OF
either.
THE REMOVAL.
General Manager Thomas had never
until Monday stated that he would ac-
cept the general management OF tho
East Tennessee, and il was due TO this
fact that there was delay in executing
the order of the Danville Board in di-
recting the removal of the Offices. il
being considered inexpedient 10 move
them until this matter was settled. As
soon as Major Dooley receives an OH
cial copy OF the resolution adopted
Monday he will communicate il to
Judge Marshall, the company's attor-
ney, in Washington, and direct his
Office to be brought here at once.

LICENsE-TAXE

The most important work to be done
in the next two days is to adopt some
measure relative to the license-taxes.
They tall due on the Both. If the law
remains unchanged many Of them will

now to enact a proper law, the likeli-
hood is that the two houses will pass an
act or Joint resolution suspending the
operations of the present law, for say
thirty days, until new law that will
meet the exigencies Of the case can be
framed. Such a hill has passed the
Senate and now only awaits the action
of the House of Delegates.

Of the Legislative Debt Com
mittee- Personal, &C.

The members Of the Legislative com.
mittec met again in the Allen house
yesterday, and, for the first time, with
all Of their members present.
They were in session for two hours
and a half, most of which time was
spent in the examination Of statistical
tables furnished them by Auditors
Marye and Rufin and Mr. Craig. All
these exhibits 60 to show that with the
present expenses of the schools and of
the State government very little, if
any, more interest can be paid than is
called for by the Riddleberger bill
that is to say, in round numbers
3 per cent. on S22, 100000. The
committee are nov verifying these
figures. That has been their work
for several days past; that will be
their work for several days 10 come.

SMALL-POX HOSPITAL.

| SMALLPOX HOSPITAL.
The reassembling of the Legislature
will probably witness another effort on
the part of certain Henrico people to
prevent the city having a smallpox
hospital on the Morris farm.
The recent decision of the Supreme
Court said that the hospital was estab-
| lsled on said farm according to law,
but that, il the General Assembly chose,
il could, by "express legislation, dis
establish the hospital.
1t now seems that that sort of legis'
lation viii be applied for.
THE POLICE BILL.
Richmond representatives will now
.,usb forward the bill amending the city
charter,
The object of the measure is to strike
ont the word fJ'eehOLolers as a requisite
qualification for the police commits.
sioners. and to enable the present board
and the present police force to serve
out the terms of office for which they
were elected.
II also provides and here is the
only change in the law--that in future
policemen. officers aud men, shall be
elected for good behavior instead of for
term of years.
The present City Council is opposed
10 tine bill but no doubt it will pass.
soon after the City Council commit
tee withdrew the Fire Department from
the parade on the occasion of the lay
ing of the cornerstone of the City
Han there was much talk about pass
inc a bill to put the Fire Department
nnder the management of board OF
commissioners but the angry feeling
engendered by the parade procedure
has now nearly passed away, and it is
unlikely that any step OF the sort will
be taken at this session.
On the police bill the Richmond
members will ask for early action, as
very soon the debt business, the Code,
&c. will be up, and then it will be
nearly impossible to gel through any
local measure which is opposed-as this
will be-by the solid Republican vote.

There has been some discussion
among the members Of the Legislature
present in the city as to the advisability
of bracing mp our revenues by adopting

II is considered unlikely that the
"coupon-cusher will be acted upon
pending the negotiations between Sir
Edward Thornton and the legislative
committee; though there will not be
unanimity on that point, as a South
western member writes here to
Colonel Rufin that a coupon agent
has been out there making arrange
ments for the sale of coupons and say
ing that they meant to flood the State
with coupons il they had TO sell them
at ten cents on the dollar.
